Even more photos...

We are trying some new software to manage all of the photos that continue to come to in. Organizing them all is taking more time than expected.

Thanks to everyone for your contributions, and your patience as we make these changes.

   

Images

Please check back often for the latest additions. We will be continually scanning, typing and adding material (history never stops happening!)

Have materials or stories to share? We would appreciate any materials you are willing to share. Remember that we can scan and return photos! There is no need to permanently give up your treasured remembrances.
 

Coming Soon...

Stories and images of the Tolle family, who first came to the area in the 1930s and built their "Little Cabin." This is just one...

KABETOGAMA

Through the trees
  you catch a glint of blue.
Behind those forests
  there's something new,
Something unexplored as yet,
Waiting a real accomplishment.
From the surrounding forest
  there bounds a deer;
And out of the water
  a pike leaps clear.
An old bear with her cubs
  shambles off.
And from the forest
  you hear a deer cough.
A loon calls from an island
  near at hand;
An answering cry comes
  from some distant point of land.
In this tranquil spot,
  forest folk abide –
Kabetogama,
  “waters side by side.”

         - Lee Tolle (age 11)
